DEPARTMENT  OF  THE  INTERIOR, 

BUREAU  OF  PENSIONS, 

Washington,  D.  C. ,  September  6,  1900. 

SIR  :  Some  years  ago  I  compiled,  for  the  use  of  the  Bureau,  an  alpha- 
betical list  of  battles  of  the  war  of  the  rebellion,  which  I  afterwards 
revised.  Many  additions  thereto  were  made  and  the  battles  of  the 
Mexican,  Indian,  and  Revolutionary  wars  were  also  included.  This 
compilation  was  as  complete  as  it  was  possible  to  make  it  from  the 
data  to  be  procured  at  the  time,  and  it  is  an  accepted  fact  that  it  has 
proved  to  be  of  great  assistance  to  the  Bureau. 

Some  eight  or  ten  years  ago,  when  the  Government  commenced  the 
publication  of  the  Rebellion  Record,  I  began  a  second  revision  of  the 
Alphabetical  List  of  Battles,  taking  said  record  as  authority.  I  have 
also  used  all  the  data  obtainable  from  the  reports  of  the  various  Depart- 
ments and  from  what  would  appear  to  be  other  reliable  sources,  rela- 
tive to  the  Spanish-American  war  and  the  Philippine  insurrection,  such 
as  is  believed  will  be  valuable  in  the  adjudication  of  pension  claims  on 
account  of  service  in  said  wars. 

The  work  of  revision  has  been  done  evenings  and  at  odd  hours,  prin- 
cipally out  of  the  office.  It  is  now  finished  and,  although  it  may  nave 
imperfections,  it  is  believed  to  be  as  complete  as  it  is  possible  to  make 
a  work  of  this  kind. 

I  desire  to  present  to  you  the  manuscript  for  publication  for  the  use 
of  the  Pension  Bureau,  reserving  for  myself  all  other  rights  pertaining 
thereto. 

Very  respectfully, 

N.  A.  STRAIT. 

Hon.  H.  CLAY  EVANS, 

Commissioner  of  Pensions. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  THE  INTERIOR, 

BUREAU  OF  PENSIONS, 
Washington,  September  18,  1900. 

DEAR  SIR:  I  have  to  acknowledge  and  thank  you  for  your  generous 
offer  of  the  6th  instant  of  permission  to  have  printed  a  limited  number 
of  copies  of  the  Alphabetical  List  of  Battles,  compiled  by  yourself  for 
the  use  and  information  of  this  Bureau. 

The  first  edition  of  the  List  of  Battles  and  your  Roster  of  Regi- 
mental Surgeons,  with  post-office  addresses,  have  proved  of  valuable 
assistance  to  the  work  of  this  Bureau.

2  PREFACE. 

You  state  that  the  work  of  revision  has  been  done  evenings  and  at 
odd  hours.     Under  those  circumstances  I  consider  you  justified  in 
reserving  for  yourself  all  other  rights  and  benefits  to  be  derived  from 
the  book,  and  the  same  should  be  respected. 
Very  respectfully, 

H.  CLAY  EVANS, 

Commissioner. 
Dr.  N.  A.  STRAIT,

CAUSES  OF  THE  REBELLION. 

The  North  and  the  South  had  for  years  held  antagonistic  views  on 
two  vital  questions — the  tariff  and  slavery.  The  North,  being  largely 
engaged  in  manufacturing,  desired  a  high  tariff;  while  the  South, 
whose  wealth  consisted  of  cotton,  sugar,  and  slaves,  desired  free  trade. 

The  question  as  to  the  boundary  of  slave  territory  was  supposed  to  be 
finally  settled  by  the  Missouri  Compromise  of  1820,  but  when  Kansas 
and  Nebraska  were  established  as  Territories  the  compromise  was 
repealed,  and  the  question  as  to  whether  they  should  be  free  or  slave 
States  was  left  to  the  people  of  each  Territory  to  decide  for  themselves. 

Then  the  trouble  began.  Both  parties,  the  proslavery  and  the  anti- 
slavery,  set  to  work  to  get  a  majority  of  the  votes  in  their  favor,  but 
the  settlers  from  the  New  England  States  poured  into  the  new  Terri- 
tory so  much  more  rapidly  than  those  from  the  Southern  States  that 
when  Kansas  voted  on  the  proposition  she  decided  against  slavery  by 
an  overwhelming  majority. 

This  defeat  of  the  proslavery  people  caused  intense  feeling  through- 
out the  South,  and  when  the  Republican  party  came  into  power  by 
the  election  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  November  6,  1860,  the  leaders  in 
Southern  politics  knew  that  all  hopes  of  a  further  extension  of  slave 
territory  were  gone,  and  they  immediately  began  to  plan  for  a  disso- 
lution of  the  Union. 

The  South  Carolina  Senators  withdrew  from  Congress  November  9 
and  11,  and  that  State  formally  seceded,  by  a  vote  of  the  people, 
December  20, 1860.  It  was  followed  by  Mississippi  January  9 ;  Florida, 
January  10;  Alabama,  January  11;  Georgia,  January  19;  Louisiana, 
January  26;  Texas,  February  1;  Virginia,  April  17;  Arkansas,  May  6; 
North  Carolina,  May  21;  and  Tennessee  June  8,  1861.  The  western 
portion  of  Virginia  refused  to  secede,  and  became  a  separate  State 
in  1863. 

The  war  opened  with  the  firing  on  the  Star  of  the  West  by  the  Con- 
federate batteries  in  Charleston  Harbor  January  9,  1861,  and  closed, 
practically,  with  Lee's  surrender,  April  9,  1865.

COMPILED   FROM   OFFICIAL   RECORDS. 
COMPLETE  UP  TO  DATE,  INCLUDING  THE  DISTURBANCE  IN  CHINA. 


THE   MOST  PROMIJS7ENT  BOOK  IN  THE  LIBRARY. 

Alphabetical  List  of  Battles, 

WITH  DATES  FROM  1754  TO  1900. 


Condensing  practically  oil  the   knowledge  of  the  various  wars   into  one   book,  which 
it  is  believed  will  meet  the  needs  of  the  busy  world. 


Reference  can  be  made  to  the  date  of  any  one  of  the  8,220  battles, 
skirmishes,  and  other  incidents  of  the  WAR  OF  THE  REBELLION,  or  to 
any  one  of  the  1,251  engagements  of  the  SPANISH-AMERICAN  WAR  and 
PHILIPPINE  INSURRECTION  as  easily  as  to  a  word  in  the  dictionary. 

All  of  the  battles  of  the  OLD  WARS  are  arranged  in  the  same  manner 
with  a  brief  sketch  of  each  engagement,  including  the  losses. 

The  battles  of  the  AMERICAN  REVOLUTION  are  full  and  complete. 
The  Sons  and  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution  will  find  many 
things  of  interest  in  this  work. 

It  is  the  only  work  of  the  kind  in  print,  and  has  been  adopted  as 
authority  by  the  Government  Departments. 

It  gives  the  number  killed  and  wounded  in  each  engagement  during 
the  Spanish- American  War,  Philippine  Insurrection,  and  the  recent 
Disturbance  in  China. 

The  principal  events  of  the  REBELLION,  SPANISH- AMERICAN  WAR, 
PHILIPPINE  INSURRECTION,  and  the  RECENT  DISTURBANCE  IN  CHINA 
are  recorded  chronologically  as  they  occurred  from  day  to  day.  THIS 
ALONE  is  WELL  WORTH  the  PRICE  of  THE  BOOK. 

Considerble  space  is  devoted  to  the  greateat  battle  of  the  civil 
war — Gettysb'irg,  Pa.,  July  i  to  3,  1863. 


In  completeness  and  authority  it  is  up  to  date,  and  as  a  book  of 
reference  to  wars  it  has  no  equal,  and  should  be  in  the  hands  of  every 
officer,  soldier,  author,  reporter,  and  teacher. 

No  public  or  private  library  is  complete  without  it. 

COMRADES  who  gave  up  the  peaceful  pursuits  of  civil  life  for  the 
dangers  of  the  camp  and  battlefield  will  enj'oy  retracing,  in  memory, 
the  long  marches  and  engagements  participated  in,  from  Fort  Sumter 
to  Appomattox,  and  from  Cuba  to  the  Philippines. 

It  will  be  found  a  ready  reference  to  settle  disputes  as  to  dates  of 
battles  and  other  incidents,  and  by  marking  the  various  engagements 
in  which  they  took  part  comrades  will  leave  a  record  that  their  children 
and  friends  wrill  be  proud  to  exhibit. 

To  ATTORNEYS  practicing  before  the  Departments  at  Washington  its 
worth  can  not  be  estimated.  It  is  indispensable. 

Claims  against  the  Government  often  fail  on  account  of  erroneous 
dates  having  been  alleged.  Claimants  can  usually  fix  the  correct  date 
of  an  injury  or  disease  by  the  date  of  some  battle,  skirmish,  or  incident 
that  took  place  about  the  same  time. 

The  data  from  which  this  work  was  compiled  are  principally  from 
official  records,  requiring  a  careful  search  of  nearly  100  volumes  of  the 
Rebellion  Records,  and  the  reports  of  the  various  Departments  for  years. 

Its  use  has  been  adopted  by  the  Departments  at  Washington,  D.  C., 
to  settle  various  questions  arising  as  to  dates  of  battles  and  incidents  of 
the  various  wars. 

The  book  is  neatly  bound,  and  contains  252  pages  of  interesting 
matter. 

If  you  desire  a  copy  of  this  work,  order  at  once,  as  there  is  but  a 
limited  edition . 

Sent  postpaid  on  receipt  of  price.

order,  registered  letter,  or  draft.  Small  amounts,  however,  are  usually 
safe  if  sent  by  mail.

MONEY.

WHAT     PROniNENT    PEOPLE    SAY    OF    THE    ALPHABETICAL. 

LIST    OF    BATTLES. 


Gen.  Nelson  A.  Miles,  U.  S.  Army: 
"  I  find  it  quite  useful  as  a  book  of 
reference." 

Admiral  George  Dewey  : — ' '  I  have 
looked  through  the  book  and  am  sure 
that  I  shall  find  it  exceedingly  valuable 
as  a  reference  work." 

Gen.  Daniel  E.  Sickles,  U.  S.  Army 
(retired): — "This  interesting  volume 
will  be  a  valued  addition  to  my  library." 

Dear  Sir  : — Your  "Alphabetical  List  of 
Battles"  is  the  most  valuable  help  to  the 
study  of  our  war  record  in  all  wars  that 
has  yet  appeared.  I  have  found  much 
use  for  it  in  the  fortnight  which  has 
elapsed  since  receiving  it.  All  libraries 
which  make  any  pretense  to  collecting 
war  books  should  have  it. 

Truly  yours, 

H.  V.  BOYNTON, 

^resident  of  Board  of  Education,  Washing- 
ton, D.  C.,  and  Chairman  Chickamauga  and 
Chattanooga  National  Park  Commission. 

J.  W.  Palmer,  Albany,  N.  Y.,  Past 
Grand  Commander,  G.  A.  R.: — "The 
compiler  deserves  great  credit  for  the 
time  and  patience  he  has  devoted  to 
the  work.  It  contains  so  much  valuable 
and  interesting  information  in  addition 
to  the  list  of  battles  of  the  Civil  War, 
that  it  is  really  a  pleasure  to  sit  down 
and  peruse  it." 

Col.  W.  W.  Dudley,  Washington,  D.  C., 
Ex-Commissioner  of  Pensions  : — "  Your 
recent  publication,  'The  Alphabetical 
List  of  Battles,'  is  a  marvel  of  careful 
and  exhaustive  research,  showing  patient 
labor  in  collecting  the  data,  and  good 
judgment  in  arranging  the  same.  It  is 
a  veritable  boon  to  one  interested  in 
pension  or  military  affairs  generally,  as 
well  as  to  every  lover  of  the  history 
of  our  great  nation." 

Military  Order  of  the  Loyal  Legion, 
Headquarters  of  the  State  of 
Minnesota, 

Dear  Sir  ;  *  *  It  is  an  exceedingly  val- 
uable book,  and  should  be  in  the  posses- 
sion of  every  reader  of  United  States 
history,  containing,  as  it  does,  informa- 
tion inaccessible,  except  to  those  who 
have  a  large  library,  and  to  those  only 
after  much  valuable  time  has  been  con- 
sumed in  searching.  The  matter  con- 
tained in  its  covers  is  asked  for  every 
day,  and  in  my  position  as  assistant  li- 
brarian of  the  Minnesota  Historical  So- 
ciety, saves  me  and  the  reader  much 
time  that  would  otherwise  be  spent  in 
examining  many  volumes.  *  * 
Yours  truly, 

DAVID  L.  KINSBURY, 

Recorder. 
St.  Paul,  Minn. 


Dear  Sir  :  I  consider  this  book  a  very 
valuable  addition  to  the  war  literature  of 
the  United  States.  It  embodies  in  a  very 
concise  form  a  vast  amount  of  informa- 
tion, and  is  a  ready  reference  book  for  in- 
formation regarding  the  engagements  of 
the  civil  war  in  particular,  and  of  the  re- 
cent Spanish-American  war.  I  consider 
it  the  best  book  yet  published. 
Very  respectfully, 

THOS.  J.  STEWART, 

Adjutant-General  of  Pennsylvania. 
Harrisburg,  Pa. 

J.  P.  S.  Gobin,  Lieutenant-Governor  oj 
Pennsylvania: — "It  evinces  great  re- 
search and  industry,  and  must  be  re- 
garded as  a  valuable  book  of  reference." 

My  Dear  Mr.  Strait :— It  gives  me  great 
pleasure  to  say  that  your  book,  "Alpha- 
betical List  of  Battles,  1754  to  1900,"  is 
one  of  the  most  complete  and  perfect 
books  of  reference  I  have  ever  used,  and 
you  deserve  the  thanks  and  patronage  of 
every  one  for  this  valuable  contribution 
to  "  Reference  Libraries."  Very  truly, 

Mrs.  JOHN  A.  LOGAN.

Dear  Sir :  I  cheerfully  endorse  and 
commend  the  little  volume  entitled  "Al-

saver  of  time  and  labor  to  those  who  de- 
sire to  get  full  and  accurate  data  of  any 
battle  or  battles  fought  in  this  country. 
Its  arrangement  is  good,  and  its  list  of 
battles  complete. 

Truly  yours,  A.  G.  WEiSSERT. 

Late  Conimander-in-Chief,  G.  A.  R. 

Dear  Sir :—  *  *  *  It  being  tha 
only  complete  work  of  the  kind  pub- 
lished— being  handy  to  refer  to — it  will 
be  duly  appreciated.  I  shall  always 
keep  it  on  a  handy  shelf  in  my  library. 
Yours  truly,  DAVID  ELY, 

Late  Captain  I3ist  Pa.  Vols.,  Williamsport,  Pa. 

My  Dear  Sir : — *  *  I  want  to  say  that 
the  character  and  amount  of  information 
contained  in  the  book  show  a  remark- 
able degree  of  care  in  its  preparation, 
and  I  find  it  a  reliable  and  invaluable 
work  of  reference.  There  is  hardly  a 
day  that  I  do  not  find  it  necessary  to 
consult  its  pages.  Yours,  very  truly, 
T.  D.  YEAGER, 

Agent  National  Home  for  D  .V.  S., 
Pacific  Building,  Washington,  D.  C. 

Mr.  J.  J.  Galbraith,  Williamsport,  Pa., 
Secretary  of  the  Merchants'  Associa- 
tion'.— "To  every  student  of  history,  as 
well  as  every  intelligent  reader,  it  can 
not  fail  to  be  interesting  and  serviceable. 
I  shall  hope  to  see  it  introduced  gener- 
ally in  the  public  schools.  No  other 
single  publication  affords  the  same  valu-  - 
able  information.  "

continued  during  the  day.  The  last  shot  was  fired  about  10  o'clock  p.  m.,  the 
remainder  of  the  night  being  spent  in  strengthening  the  position,  burying  the 
dead,  caring  for  the  wounded,  and  relieving  the  skirmishing  line,  which  had

7.  Gen.  P.  H.  Sheridan  appointed  to  the  command  of  the  Army  of  Northern  Vir- 
ginia. 

iThc  compiler  recalls  having  seen  President  Lincoln  and  Secretary  of  War  Edwin  M.  Stan  ton, 
accompanied  by  a  military  officer  unknown  to  him,  at  Fort  Stevens  on  the  forenoon  of  July  11. 
Arriving  *oy  the  Fourteenth  street  road,  their  carriage  stopped  and  they  alighted  about  lOu  feet  from 
the  Brightwood  Hotel  and  crossed  the  Seventh  street  road  in  the  rear  of  the  fort,  or  near  where  the 
car  barn  is  now  situated.  They  halted  on  a  small  knoll  or  rise  of  ground  located  on  the  right  and  not 
quite  abreast  of  the  fort.  As  they  were  crossing  the  Seventh  street  road  they  were  joined  by  an  officer 
from  the  fort  with  a  pair  of  field  glasses,  with  which  he  swept  the  country  until  he  evidently  located 
the  object  sought.  He  then  handed  the  glasses  to  the  President,  at  the  same  time  pointing  in  the 
direction  that  he  desired  him  to  look.  The  glasses  were  in  turn  passed  to  Mr.  Stanton  and  to  the 
unknown  officer  before  mentioned. 

The  distinguished  party  had  been  there  but  a  very  short  time  before  the  officer  from  the  fort  ap- 
peared anxious  to  have  them  move  from  their  exposed  position.  The  compiler  was  not  near  enougn. 
to  hear  the  conversation,  but  the  uneasiness  of  the  officer  to  get  them  to  return  was  very  plain,  as 
shown  by  his  gestures  and  movements.  He  finally  rather  abruptly  took  the  glasses  from  the  Presi- 
dent's hand  and  returned  them  to  their  case,  starting  in  the  direction  of  the  carriage,  the  party  fol- 
lowed, but  rather  reluctantly.  I  believe  Mr.  Stanton  accompanied  the  officer  from  the  fort  on  his 
return  to  the  carriage,  the  President  and  the  other  officer  following. 

The  party  passed  within  a  few  feet  of  the  compiler  both  in  going  and  returning  to  their  carriage, 
and  were  in  full  view  during  their  entire  stay,  which  did  not  exceed  thirty  minutes.  It  was  after- 
wards learned  that  the  anxiety  of  the  officer  from  the  fort  to  get  the  party  to  a  less  exposed  position 
was  on  account  of  several  shots  having  struck  but  a  short  distance  from  where  they  were  standing.

tion at  Pekin  and  their  complete  isolation  in  the  midst  of  an  unruly  and  murderous 
populace  demanded  prompt  action  for  their  relief.  The  commanding  general,  Divi- 
sion of  the  Philippines,  was  therefore  instructed  by  cable,  June  16,  1900,  to  send  at 
once  a  regiment  of  infantry  to  Taku,  and  six  days  later  Maj.  Gen.  Adna  R.  Chaffee, 
U.  S.  Volunteers,  was  selected  to  command  the  United  States  troops  to  compose  the

AUTHOBITY  FOB  INCBEASE  AND  BEOBGA.NIZATION  OF  THE  BEOULAK  AND 
VOLTTNTEEB  MILITABY  FOBCES. 

[From  report  of  the  Adjutant-General.] 

On  the  passage  of  the  joint  resolution,  approved  April  20,  1898,  demanding  that 
Spain  relinquish  its  authority  and  government  in  the  island  of  Cuba  and  to  withdraw 
its  land  and  naval  forces  from  Cuba  and  Cuban  waters,  the  Army  of  the  United 
States  consisted  of  2,143  officers  and  26,040  enlisted  men. 

Under  the  above  resolution  and  the  act  of  April  22,  1898,  the  President  issued  a 
proclamation  April  23,  1898,  calling  for  125,000  volunteers.  This  was  followed  on 
May  25,  1898,  by  a  proclamation  calling  for  75,000  volunteers. 

The  approval  of  the  act  of  April  26,  1898,  increased  the  Regular  Army  to  63,106 
men,  to  be  reduced  at  the  end  of  the  war  to  a  peace  basis,  namely,  26,610  enlisted 
men.  Meeting  this  instruction  of  the  Congress,  the  men  enlisted  under  the  above 
act  (practically  for  the  war  with  Spain)  were  informed,  in  General  Orders,  No.  40, 
May  10,  1898,  that  they  would  be  granted  their  discharge,  if  desired,  at  the  close  of 
the  war,  upon  individual  application. 

By  the  act  approved  May  11,  1898,  Congress  authorized,  in  addition  to  the  volun- 
teers provided  by  the  act  of  April  22,  the  organization  of  a  volunteer  brigade  of  engi- 
neers of  not  more  than  3,500  men.  The  same  act  authorized  the  organization  of  an 
additional  volunteer  force  not  exceeding  10,000  men,  possessing  immunity  from  disease 
incident  to  tropical  climates. 

The  protocol  was  signed  August  12, 1898,  and  on  September  5, 1898,  the  first  organ- 
ization of  volunteers  was  mustered  out  of  the  service.  This  was  followed  immediately 
by  orders  for  the  muster  out  of  nearly  one-half  of  the  Volunteer  Army. 

On  the  signing  of  the  treaty  of  peace,  April  11, 1899,  it  at  once  became  necessary  to 
muster  out  all  the  volunteer  organizations,  but,  as  stated  heretofore,  the  volunteers 
in  the  Philippines  cheerfully  remained  and  rendered  service  until  the  Government 
was  able  to  send  regular  and  volunteer  regiments  to  relieve  them. 

The  act  of  March  2,  1899,  authorized  the  President  to  "enlist"  from  the  nation  at 
large  35,000  volunteers,  or  so  much  thereof  as  might  be  necessary.  Under  the  same 
act  Congress  authorized  the  recruitment  of  the  Regular  Army  to  65,000  men. 

Under  the  act  of  March  2,  1899,  authority  was  given  the  commanding  general, 
Department  of  Porto  Rico,  to  recruit  a  battalion  of  volunteers  (400)  from  among  the 
Porto  Ricans,  and  such  recruiting  began  on  March  24,  1899. 

On  July  5,  1899,  the  President,  through  the  Secretary  of  War,  ordered  the  organi- 
zation of  ten  regiments  of  volunteer  infantry;  on  July  18,  1899,  of  two  regiments  of 
volunteer  infantry  and  a  regiment  of  volunteer  cavalry  (the  three  regiments  last 
named  to  be  organized  and  recruited  in  the  Philippine  Islands) ;  on  August  17, 1899, 
of  ten  additional  regiments  of  volunteer  infantry;  and  on  September  9,  1899,  of  two 
additional  regiments  of  volunteer  infantry  (the  enlisted  men  and  company  officers  of 
the  last  two  regiments  to  be  colored).

WAR  OF  THE  REBELLION  (April  15,  1861,  to  August  20,  1866). — The  last-named 
date  is  held  by  the  Supreme  Court  as  the  legal  termination  of  the  war.  On  that  date 
President  Johnson  issued  a  proclamation  stating  that  the  war  was  at  an  end,  the 
proclamation  being  necessary ,  as  the  State  of  Texas  was  not  finally  subdued  until  that 
date.1 

It  is  held  by  the  Pension  Bureau  and  Secretary  of  the  Interior  that  enlistments  in 
loyal  States  after  April  13,  1865,  will  not  be  deemed  as  rebellion  service  for  pension- 
able purposes.  Enlistments  in  any  other  States,  Territories,  or  District  of  Columbia 
after  June  1,  1865,  will  not  be  deemed  as  enlistments  for  the  war  of  the  rebellion. 

It  is  held  that  enlistments  in  the  United  States  Navy  after  July  1,  1865,  were  not 
in  or  for  the  war  of  the  rebellion.  To  overcome  this  the  burden  of  proof  is  upon  the 
claimant. 

In  another  decision  it  is  held  by  the  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Interior  that  the 
technical  legal  termination  of  the  war  was  August  20,  1866.  Service  rendered  after 
July,  1865,  will  be  presumed  not  to  have  been  in  said  war,  and  that  burden  of  proof 
will  be  upon  the  claimant. 

Service  rendered  after  April  2, 1866,  must  be  shown  to  have  been  rendered  in  some 
connection  with  the  war  as  existing  in  the  State  of  Texas. 

Service  rendered  in  the  State  of  Tennessee  after  June  13,  1865,  will  be  presumed 
not  to  have  been  in  said  war. 

President  Johnson  issued  a  peace  proclamation  May  9,  1865. 

Recruiting  for  the  war  ceased  immediately  after  General  Lee's  surrender  April  9, 
1865,  and  muster-out  began  April  29,  1865.  The  last  battle  or  skirmish  is  reported 
to  have  been  fought  May  13,  1865,  and  the  last  Confederate  forces  surrendered  May 
26,  1865. 

The  blockade  was  raised  by  proclamation  June  23,  1865,  and  General  Grant's  final 
official  report  of  military  operations  is  dated  July  22,  1865. J

The  Spanish  Government  made  most  liberal  promises,  but  failed  to  keep  them. 

Hostilities  were  renewed  which  lasted  for  three  years,  from  1895  to  1898.  The  inhabi- 
tants were  in  a  most  deplorable  condition;  the  reconcentrados — men,  women,  and 
children,  noncombatants— were  by  edict  of  the  Spanish  captain-general,  Weyler, 
driven  from  their  homes,  crowded  together  without  proper  food  or  shelter,  and  died 
by  thousands  of  disease  and  starvation. 

The  attention  and  sympathy  of  the  American  people  had  for  several  years  been 
attracted  to  this  miserable  condition  of  the  Cubans,  and  many  attempts  had  been 
made  to  relieve  their  distress. 

At  the  beginning  of  1898  about  40  per  cent  of  the  inhabitants  had  perished.  At 
this  juncture  two  events  happened  which  increased  the  tension  in  the  United  States. 
One  was  the  exposure  of  a  letter  written  by  Senor  de  Lome,  the  Spanish  minister  to 
the  United  States,  to  a  friend,  grossly  reflecting  upon  the  President;  the  other  was 
a  demand  by  the  Spanish  Government  for  the  recall  from  Cuba  of  Consul-General 
Lee,  which  was  refused. 

On  the  25th  of  January,  1898,  the  United  States  battleship  Maine  was  ordered  to 
Habana  Harbor,  on  a  peaceful  mission,  by  the  authority  of  the  United  States,  and 
on  the  15th  of  February,  1898,  between  9  and  10  o'clock  p.  m.,  the  vessel  was  blown 
up  by  a  submarine  mine,  266  sailors  loosing  their  lives.  A  searching  investigation 
followed  without  fixing  the  responsibility.  Congress  immediately  appropriated 
$50,000,000  "for  the  national  defense  and  for  each  and  every  purpose  connected 
therewith,  to  be  expended  at  the  discretion  of  the  President. ' ' 

After  fruitless  effort  to  bring  about  an  amicable  settlement,  on  April  11,  1898,  the 
President  asked  Congress  to  intervene  to  stop  the  Cuban  war,  and  by  force  to  estab- 
lish a  stable  government  on  the  island.  On  April  19,  1898,  Congress  passed  resolu- 
tions, which  were  signed  by  the  President  at  11.24  a.  m.  the  following  day,  declaring 
"that  the  people  of  the  island  of  Cuba  are,  and  by  right  ought  to  be,  free  and  inde- 
pendent," and  demanding  that  Spain  at  once  relinquish  its  authority  in  the  island, 
etc.  It  also  authorized  the  President  to  use  the  entire  military  force  of  the  United 
States  to  carry  the  resolution  into  effect. 

The  diplomatic  relations  between  the  two  countries  ceased  April  21,  1898,  and  it 
was  held  that  a  state  of  war  existed  from  that  date.  Blockade  of  the  principal  Cuban 
ports  was  declared  April  22,  and  on  the  23d  the  President  called  for  125,000  volun- 
teers to  serve  two  years,  and  on  May  24  the  Spanish  Government  announced  that  a 
state  of  war  between  that  country  and  the  United  States  existed. 

The  protocol  of  agreement  between  the  United  States  and  Spain  was  signed  at 
Washington,  D.  C.,  August  12,  1898,  by  William  R.  Day  and  Jules  Cambon. 

The  treaty  of  peace  was  signed  at  Paris  December  10,  1898,  by  William  R.  Day, 
Cushman  K.  Davis,  William  P.  Frye,  George  Gray,  and  Whitelaw  Reid,  for  the 
United  States,  and  by  Eugenio  Montero  Rfos,  B.  de  Abarzuza,  J.  de  Garnica,  W.  R. 
de  Villa  Urrutia,  and  Rafael  Cerero,  for  the  Kingdom  of  Spain. 

Signed  at  Paris,  December  10,  1898;  ratification  advised  by  the  Senate  February 
6,  1899;  ratified  by  the  President  February  6,  1899;  ratified  by  Her  Majesty  the 
Queen  Regent  of  Spain  March  19, 1899;  ratifications  exchanged  at  Washington  April 
11,  1899;  proclaimed,  Washington,  April  11,  1899.

The  French  and  Indian  war  was  carried  on  between  the  English  and  French  colo- 
nies in  America  for  the  possession  of  North  America.  France  claimed  the  whole 
region  west  of  the  Alleghanies  as  a  part  of  the  basins  of  the  St.  Lawrence  and  Missis- 
sippi. England  claimed  the  country  west  of  its  Atlantic  settlements.  The  French 
numbered  about  80,000  whites  assisted  by  the  Indians;  the  English  more  than 
1,100,000,  but  were  divided  into  13  discordant  governments.  The  war  ended  in 
1763,  on  the  signing  of  the  treaty  of  peace  in  Paris.  France  resigned  to  England  all 
her  possessions  east  of  the  Mississippi,  and  Spain,  New  Orleans,  and  her  possessions 
west  of  that  river.

exhausted.  Loss:  American,  139  killed,  314  wounded  and  missing;  British,  226 
killed,  828  wounded  and  missing.  It  is  doubtful  if  Pomeroy  was  the  principal  officer. 
General  Putnam,  it  is  claimed,  was  in  command.  (Who  was  in  command  is  not 
well  established. } 

The  following  is  another  account  of  the  same  battle: 

On  the  night  of  June  16,  1775,  a  detachment  of  about  1,200  men  left  Cambridge 
under  orders  to  fortify  and  defend  the  heights  overlooking  Boston.  Col.  William 
Prescott,  from  his  experience  in  military  affairs  and  his  being  an  officer  in  the  Mas- 
sachusetts line,  had  been  chosen  to  conduct  the  enterprise.  The  start  was  made 
about  9  o'clock.  At  Charlestown  Neck  they  were  met  by  the  wagons  laden  with 
intrenching  tools.  It  was  necessary  to  proceed  with  the  utmost  caution,  for  they 
were  coming  on  ground  over  which  the  British  kept  jealous  wateh.  The  orders 
were  to  fortify  Bunker  Hill,  but  when  the  designated  place  was  reached  it  was 
decided  that  Breeds  Hill  (about  700  yards' distant)  was  the  better  point  to  hold,  as 
it  was  nearer  Boston  and  had  a  better  command  of  the  town  and  shipping.  The 
lines  for  the  fortifications  were  marked  out.  The  men  seized  their  trenching  tools 
and  set  to  work  with  great  spirit.  Prescott,  who  felt  the  responsibility  of  his  charge, 
almost  despaired  of  carrying  on  these  operations  undiscovered.  A  party  was  sent 
to  patrol  the  shore  at  the  foot  of  the  heights  and  watch  for  any  movement  of 
the  enemy.  Not  willing  to  trust  entirely  to  the  vigilance  of  others,  he  twice  went 
down  during  the  night  to  the  water's  edge,  reconnoitering  everything  scrupulously 
and  noting  every  sight  and  sound.  At  dawn  of  day  the  Americans  at  work  were 
espied  by  the  sailors  on  board  of  the  ships  of  war,  and  the  alarm  was  given.  The 
captain  of  the  Lively,  the  nearest  ship,  without  waiting  for  orders,  opened  fire  upon 
the  hill;  the  other  ships  followed  his  example.  Prescott  now  mounted  the  parapet 
and  walked  leisurely  about  inspecting  the  works,  giving  directions  and  talking  cheer- 
fully with  the  men.  Encouraged  by  the  words  and  the  brave  example  of  their 
commander,  standing  in  full  view  at  the  top  of  the  embankment  with  cannon  balls 
passing  him  on  all  sides,  the  men  completed  the  earthworks  and  prepared  to  meet 
the  British  soldiers. 

Camden,  or  Hobkirks  Hill,  S.  C.,  April  25,  1781.—  Fought  between  900  British 
under  Lord  Rawdon  and  1,200  Americans  under  General  Greene.  The  Americans 
were  defeated,  but  took  50  British  prisoners. 

Camden  (Sanders  Creek),  S.  C.,  August  16, 1780. — Fought  between  3,663  Americans 
under  General  Gates  ana  2,100  British  under  Lord  Cornwallis.  Baron  de  Kalb  was 
mortally  wounded,  and  the  Americans  were  defeated.  Loss:  American,  1,500  killed, 
wounded,  and  made  prisoners;  British,  324  killed  and  wounded. 

Catawba  Ford,  S.  C.,  August  18,  1780. — The  British  under  Colonel  Tarleton 
attacked  650  Americans  under  Sumter,  killed,  captured,  or  dispersed  the  whole  party, 
and  retook  300  British  prisoners.  Loss:  British,  9  killed  and  6  wounded.  The 
Americans  had  captured  two  hogsheads  of  rum  and  were  generally  drunk  when 
attacked. 

1  Boundbrook  and  Middlebrook  are  supposed  to  be  the  same  battle.

Early  Pension  Legislation. 

It  will  be  of  interest  to  know  that  the  foundation  of  our  present  pension  system  is 
older  than  the  Declaration  of  Independence. 

The  first  national  pension  law  was  passed  August  26,  1776,  before  our  independence 
was  established.  But  prior  to  this,  early  in  the  history  of  colonial  legislation,  many 
of  the  English  colonies  in  America  had  provided  for  the  relief  of  wounded  and 
maimed  soldiers. 

In  1636  the  Pilgrims  at  Plymouth  enacted  in  their  courts  that  any  man  who  should 
be  sent  forth  as  a  soldier  and  return  maimed  should  be  maintained  competently  by 
the  colony  during  his  life.  This  was  probably  the  first  pension  law  passed  in  America. 
In  1676  a  standing  committee  of  the  general  court  of  Massachusetts  Bay  held  regular 
meetings  in  "Boston  toune  house"  to  hear  the  applications  of  wounded  soldiers  for 
relief.  After  the  union  of  Massachusetts  Bay  and  Plymouth  colonies  under  the 
charter  of  1691,  the  province  continued  to  make  provision  for  the  relief  of  disabled 
soldiers  out  of  the  public  treasury. 


BATTLES    OF   THE    OLD    WARS,   1754-1848.  243 

In  1644  the  Virginia  assembly  passed  a  disability  pension  law,  and  later  provision 
for  the  relief  of  the  indigent  families  of  soldiers  who  should  be  slain.  Similar  acts 
are  found  in  the  colonial  statutes  of  Maryland  and  New  York  in  the  latter  part  of  the 
seventeenth  century.  In  1718  Rhode  Island  enacted  a  pension  law,  which  provided 
that  every  officer,  soldier,  or  sailor  employed  in  the  colony's  service,  who  should  be 
disabled  by  loss  of  limb  or  otherwise  from  getting  a  livelihood  for  himself  and  family 
or  other  dependent  relatives,  should  have  his  wounds  carefully  looked  after  and 
healed  at  the  colony's  charge,  and  should  have  an  annual  pension  for  the  mainte- 
nance of  himself  and  family  or  other  dependent  relatives.  The  law  further  provided 
that  if  any  person,  who  had  the  charge  of  maintaining  a  wife,  children,  parents,  or 
other  relatives,  should  be  slain  in  the  colony's  military  service,  these  relatives  should 
lie  maintained  while  unable  to  provide  for  themselves. 

The  above  shows  that  the  custom  of  pensioning  soldiers  is  as  old  as  the  English 
settlement. 

The  first  national  pension  law,  that  of  August  26,  1776,  promised  half  pay  for  life 
or  during  disability  to  every  officer,  soldier,  or  sailor  losing  a  limb  in  any  engage- 
ment, or  being  so  disabled  in  the  service  of  the  United  States  as  to  render  him  inca- 
pable of  earning  a  livelihood. 

On  August  24,  1780,  a  resolution  was  adopted  extending  the  above  half-pay  provi- 
sion to  the  widows  or  orphan  children  of  such  officers  as  had  died,  or  should  die  in 
the  service.  This  was  the  first  national  pension  law  in  behalf  of  widows  and  orphans. 

On  April  23,  1782,  Congress  provided  that  soldiers  who  were  sick  or  wounded  or 
unfit  for  duty  should  receive  a  discharge  and  be  pensioned  at  the  rate  of  $5  per 
month.  It  is  further  shown  that  history  is  repeating  itself,  as  Congress  was  as  unable 
at  that  time  as  at  the  present  to  enact  pension  laws  that  were  in  all  respects  satis- 
factory to  the  masses.  The  money  was  not  always  in  the  Treasury  to  pay  the  pensions 
after  the  same  had  been  granted,  much  being  promised  but  little  realized.  Many 
were  paid  in  commutation  certificates  payable  to  them  or  bearer  and  drawing  interest 
at  6  per  cent,  but  no  provision  was  made  for  paying  either.  Many  of  these  were 
compelled  to  part  with  their  certificates  as  low  as  12£  cents  on  the  dollar.

NOTE. — Section  4699,  Revised  Statutes,  provides  that  the  rate  of  eighteen  dollars 
per  month  may  be  proportionately  divided  for  any  degree  of  disability  established 
for  which  section  forty-six  hundred  and  ninety-five  makes  no  provision,  thus  fixing 
the  highest  rating  provided  by  existing  laws  which  can  be  allowed  by  considering 
disabilities  separately  and  compounding  so  as  to  allow  the  full  amount  which  the 
disabilities,  so  considered,  would  aggregate. 

The  act  of  March  2,  1895,  provides  that  all  pensioners  now  on  the  rolls  who  are 
pensioned  at  less  than  six  dollars  per  month,  for  any  degree  of  pensionable  disabil- 
ity, shall  have  their  pensions  increased  to  six  dollars  per  month;  and  that,  hereafter, 
whenever  any  applicant  for  pension  would,  under  existing  rates,  be  entitled  to  less 
than  six  dollars  for  any  single  disability  or  several  combined  disabilities,  such  pen- 
sioner shall  be  rated  at  not  less  than  six  dollars  per  month:  Prodded  also,  That  the 


246  PENSIONS TABLE  OF  RATES. 

provisions  hereof  shall  not  be  held  to  cover  any  pensionable  period  prior  to  the 
passage  of  this  act,  nor  authorize  a  rerating  of  any  claim  for  any  part  of  such  period, 
nor  prevent  the  allowance  of  lower  rates  than  six  dollars  pe"r  month,  according  to  the 
existing  practice  in  the  Pension  Office  in  pending  cases  covering  any  pensionable 
period  prior  to  the  passage  of  this  act. 


The  widow  of  a  soldier  or  sailor  who  died  of  a  disability  incurred  while  in  the 
service  and  in  line  of  duty  is,  under  the  provisions  of  section  4702,  Revised  Statutes, 
entitled  to  the  rating  to  which  he  would  have  been  entitled  for  a  simple  total  disabil- 
ity, as  shown  in  Table  I;  and  under  the  provisions  of  section  4696,  Revised  Statutes, 
th'e  rank  of  the  soldier  is  determined  by  the  rank  held  by  him  when  death  cause  was 
incurred,  without  regard  to  subsequent  promotions. 

From  and  after  March  19,  1886,  by  the  act  approved  on  that  date,  the  widow  of  a 
private  or  noncommissioned  officer  is  entitled  to  $12  per  month,  provided  that  she 
married  deceased  soldier  or  sailor  prior  to  March  19,  1886,  or  thereafter  married  him 
prior  to  or  during  his  term  of  service. 

WIDOW',S    INCREASE. 

From  and  after  July  25,  1866,  a  widow  is  entitled  to  $2  per  month  increase  for  each 
legitimate  minor  child  of  the  soldier  or  sailor  in  her  care  and  custody. 

MINOR'S  PENSION. 

Same  rates  and  increase  as  in  widows'  claims,  except  that  in  cases  of  children  of 
fathers  below  the  rank  of  a  commissioned  officer  the  rate  is  increased  to  81 2  per 
month  from  March  19,  1886,  without  regard  to  date  of  soldier's  or  sailor's  marriage. 

MOTHERS,   FATHERS,   AND    BROTHERS    AND    SISTERS. 

Same  rates  as  provided  in  minors'  and  widows'  claims"  in  cases  of  commissioned

No.  2210  Thirteenth  Street,  N.  W. 

WASHINGTON.   D.  C. 


WHAT     PROfllNENT    PEOPLE    5AY    OF    THE    ALPHABETICAL 

LIST    OF    BATTLES. 


Gen.  Nelson  A.  Miles,  U.  S.  Army: 
"  I  find  it  quite  useful  as  a  book  of 
reference." 

Admiral  George  Dewey  : — ' '  I  have 
looked  through  the  book  and  am  sure 
that  I  shall  find  it  exceedingly  valuable 
as  a  reference  work." 

Gen.  Daniel  E.  Sickles,  U.  S.  Army 
(retired) : —  "This  interesting  volume 
will  be  a  valued  addition  to  my  library." 

Dear  Sir  : — Your  "Alphabetical  List  of 
Battles"  is  the  most  valuable  help  to  the 
study  of  our  war  record  in  all  wars  that 
has  yet  appeared.  I  have  found  much 
use  for  it  in  the  fortnight  which  has 
elapsed  since  receiving  it.  All  libraries 
which  make  any  pretense  to  collecting 
war  books  should  have  it. 

Truly  yours, 

H.  V.  BOYNTON, 

President  of  Board  of  Education,  Washing- 
ton, D.  C.,  and  Chairman  Chickamauga  and 
Chattanooga  National  Park  Commission. 

J.  W.  Palmer,  Albany,  N.  Y.,  Past 
Grand  Commander,  G.  A.  R.: — "The 
compiler  deserves  great  credit  for  the 
time  and  patience  he  has  devoted  to 
the  work.  It  contains  so  much  valuable 
and  interesting  information  in  addition 
to  the  list  of  battles  of  the  Civil  War, 
that  it  is  really  a  pleasure  to  sit  down 
and  peruse  it." 

Col.  W.  W.  Dudley,  Washington,  D.  C., 
Ex-Commissioner  of  Pensions  : — "  Your 
recent  publication,  'The  Alphabetical 
List  of  Battles,'  is  a  marvel  of  careful 
and  exhaustive  research,  showing  patient 
labor  in  collecting  the  data,  and  good 
judgment  in  arranging  the  same.  It  is 
a  veritable  boon  to  one  interested  in 
pension  or  military  affairs  generally,  as 
well  as  to  every  lover  of  the  history 
of  our  great  nation." 

Military  Order  of  the  Loyal  Legion, 
Headquarters  of  the  State  of 
Minnesota, 

Dear  Sir  ;  *  *  It  is  an  exceedingly  val- 
uable book,  and  should  be  in  the  posses- 
sion of  every  reader  of  United  States 
history,  containing,  as  it  does,  informa- 
tion inaccessible,  except  to  those  who 
have  a  large  library,  and  to  those  only 
after  much  valuable  time  has  been  con- 
sumed in  searching.  The  matter  con- 
tained in  its  covers  is  asked  for  every 
day,  and  in  my  position  as  assistant  li- 
brarian of  the  Minnesota  Historical  So- 
ciety, saves  me  and  the  reader  much 
time  that  would  otherwise  be  spent  in 
examining  many  volumes.  *  * 
Yours  truly, 

DAVID  L.  E^INSBURY, 

Recorder. 
St.  Paul,  Minn. 


Dear  Sir  :  I  consider  this  book  a  very 
valuable  addition  to  the  war  literature  of 
the  United  States.  It  embodies  in  a  very 
concise  form  a  vast  amount  of  informa- 
tion, and  is  a  ready  reference  book  for  in- 
formation regarding  the  engagements  of 
the  civil  war  in  particular,  and  of  the  re- 
cent Spanish-American  war.  I  consider 
it  the  best  book  yet  published. 
Very  respectfully, 

THOS.  J.  STEWART, 

Adjutant-General  of  Pennsylvania. 
Harrisburg,  Pa. 

J.  P.  S.  Gobin,  Lieutenant-Governor  oj 
Pennsylvania: — "It  evinces  great  re- 
search and  industry,  and  must  be  re- 
garded as  a  valuable  book  of  reference." 

My  Dear  Mr.  Strait : — It  gives  me  great 
pleasure  to  say  that  your  book,  ''Alpha- 
betical List  of  Battles,  1754  to  1900,"  is 
one  of  the  most  complete  and  perfect 
books  of  reference  I  have  ever  used,  and 
you  deserve  the  thanks  and  patronage  of 
every  one  for  this  valuable  contribution 
to  "  Reference  Libraries."  Very  truly, 

Mrs.  JOHN  A.  LOGAN. 
Calumet  Place,  Washington,  D.  C. 

Milwaukee,  Wis. 

Dear  Sir :  I  cheerfully  endorse  and 
commend  the  little  volume  entitled  "Al- 
phabetical List  of  Battles"  as  a  great 
saver  of  time  and  labor  to  those  who  de- 
sire to  get  full  and  accurate  data  of  any 
battle  or  battles  fought  in  this  country. 
Its  arrangement  is  good,  and  its  list  of 
battles  complete. 

Truly  yours,  A.  G.  WEISSERT. 

Late  Commander-in-Chief,  G.  A.  R. 

Dear  Sir : —  *  *  *  It  being  tha 
only  complete  work  of  the  kind  pub- 
lished— being  handy  to  refer  to — it  will 
be  duly  appreciated.  I  shall  always 
keep  it  on  a  handy  shelf  in  my  library. 
Yours  truly,  DAVID  BI,Y, 

I*ate  Captain  13131  Pa.  Vols.,  Williamsport,  Pa. 

My  Dear  Sir : — *  *  I  want  to  say  that 
the  character  and  amount  of  information 
contained  in  the  book  show  a  remark- 
able degree  of  care  in  its  preparation, 
and  I  find  it  a  reliable  and  invaluable 
work  of  reference.  There  is  hardly  a 
day  that  I  do  not  find  it  necessary  to 
consult  its  pages.  Yours,  very  truly, 
T.  D.  YEAGER, 

Agent  National  Home  for  D  .  V.  S., 
Pacific  Building,  Washington,  D.  C. 

Mr.  J.  J.  Galbraith,  Williamsport,  Pa., 
Secretary  of  the  Merchants'  Associa- 
tion'.— "To  every  student  of  history,  as 
well  as  every  intelligent  reader,  it  can 
not  fail  to  be  interesting  and  serviceable. 
I  shall  hope  to  see  it  introduced  gener- 
ally in  the  public  schools.  No  other 
single  publication  affords  the  same  valu- 
able information. "
